In-Subordination Is Contagious Malady In Public Service Resulting In Maladministration, Cannot Be Viewed Leniently: Karnataka High Court
Live LawThe Karnataka High Court has dismissed with cost a petition filed by a delinquent employee of the State Administrative Tribunal, questioning the order passed by the Tribunal whereby his two annual increments with cumulative effect were withheld on charges of disobeying instruction of the Chairman, and employing rude language. A division bench of Justice Krishna S Dixit and Justice C M Joshi dismissed the petition filed by S Purushothama and said, “In-subordination is a contagious malady in any employment and more particularly in public service. Therefore, it cannot be viewed leniently at all.” The bench also imposed a cost of Rs 10,000 on the Petitioner, which is to be paid to the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority within six weeks. An argument to the contrary would affect the interest of public administration and eventually, the public interest, as well.” Rejecting the contention of the petitioner about invalidity of suspension order, the court said, “Grave charges having been framed, more particularly when the petitioner chose to remain at Bengaluru Bench disobeying the deployment order to Belagavi Bench; further, he arrogated to himself the authority to mark his attendance at Bengaluru even after he was relieved.
